Production Technology: In order to create a comfortable, outstanding, and reserved atmosphere, the white lightwell has 9.5 meters high ceiling, introducing massive natural light from the top of it. The wall elevation utilizes relief carving on marble, showing iridescent clouds surrounded the pattern. On the site of the Ksitigarbha statue, applies free and smooth grains of marble to carve lavish and natural lotus seats while the statue is carved with gentle white jade, responding to the earth-like thoughtful image of Ksitigarbha. Ksitigarbha holds in one hand citrine made Cintamani, which is has gold made Khakkhara.
Design Challenge: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hall is a 9 meters wide, 12 meters long, and 9.5 meters high architecture. Being the new construction on the original site, the host of Songshan Cihui Temple dug the base and placed metal beams and columns one by one with the bare hands 50 years ago. Expect the main temple site, the other 8724 square meters space including the open square, metal built halls, etc. in total 4 buildings are torn down and reconstructed, and the 109 square meters Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hall is one of them.
Research: With the 3 meters high Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of Great Vows statue as the main design, the rectangular space plan is different from another conventional temple hall, the oval elements spread with the planar arrangement while the statue is in the center. Marble material is used in the project on the flooring and wall evaluation surfaces. The designer adopts white lightwell to introduce natural lights in order to echo the changing light and shade in the interior. The contents of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra are used laser cutting 8 mm acrylic carving to present on the wall.
Inspiration: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hall worships the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of Great Vows, who is also called the king of the hell realm due to being patient and immovable like the great earth, and his meditation is deep and profound like a secret storehouse; therefore, his name conveys the meaning of earth store. Taking the patience and steadiness of Ksitigarbha as the aim, creates the detailed designs with the inspiration from the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra, also reflecting Yao-chihuahua Chin-mu (Golden Mother of the Jasper Pool), the main goddess that Songshan Cihui Temple is dedicated to.
Project Duration: The project is designed in 2020 in Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: It is unlike the other traditional Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva halls, the project is planned to be a rectangular space. The 3 meters tall Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue is the main design of the space, and the oval elements spread with the planar arrangement, allowing each aspect of the area to see and worship the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue. On the other hand, the wall niches share a unique and noble quality and become a tranquil space.
